Chapter 21: Better Off Dead
However, Ye Zhenzhen whispered into Mother Ye’s ear, “Retired.”
What she meant was that he was not that noble. Moreover, she did not seem to recall Lin Wanli mentioning Frank.
“Welcome.” The Old Madam held Frank’s hand.
At this moment, Dean, who had been locked up in the hotel for a few hours, entered the lobby in a grand manner. Thanks to the publicity of the mother and daughter of the Ye Family, everyone in the lobby knew that he was the second son of AFF Group.
All the rich socialites present were dazzled by him. However, such a dazzling figure walked up to Frank and respectfully called him uncle.
The mother and daughter of the Ye Family looked very excited when they heard him call uncle.
Mother Ye changed her attitude almost immediately and said, “I really didn’t expect Frank to be Dean’s uncle.”
“Uncle is modest and used to keep a low profile. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to handle any Tom, Dick, or Harry.” Dean mocked.
Although Dean did not say it explicitly, Ye Zhenzhen felt that he was mocking her.
“Chairman, this is the second son of AFF Group, Mr. Dean. We had some misunderstandings before, but we have already cleared the air.” Mother Ye immediately took credit in front of the Old Madam.
As expected, the Old Madam’s expression became much better when she heard that the misunderstanding had been resolved. She said, “I apologize to you on behalf of my unfilial granddaughter for offending you.”
This unfilial granddaughter referred to… Lin Wanli?
“Who told Old Madam that Lin Wanli offended me?” Dean’s lips curled up, and he said smugly, “It seems that the Old Madam doesn’t know the whole story? Coincidentally, I also have a question that I would like to ask.”
“Old Madam, isn’t Lin Wanli your biological granddaughter?” Dean asked.
Mother Ye did not expect things to take a turn for the worse. Her body tensed up, but she did not dare to stop him.
“Second Young Master, what do you mean?”
“The people who offended me are Miss Ye Zhenzhen, who is beside you, and your son-in-law. The two of them sent someone to follow Wanli on the first day she returned to the country. They even took a photo of me kissing the back of Wanli’s hand, so they used this as an excuse to slander Wanli and me for having an affair.” Dean truthfully told him what had happened yesterday.
When the surrounding guests heard this, they immediately smelled something fishy.
“Isn’t this too much? Although they do not dote on her, there was no need to humiliate her like this, right?”
“Shh, keep your voice down. It’s not the first time that Old Madam Lin has refused to acknowledge Lin Wanli. Ye Zhenzhen and her daughter have stolen all the limelight.”
“Why do I feel that Lin Wanli’s accident two years ago has something to do with this mother and daughter?”
“Lin Wanli is really miserable. Her father doesn’t love her and her grandmother doesn’t love her. She is better off dead.”
Hearing the criticism of the guests around him, Father Lin pulled Mother Lin to the Old Madam’s side with a cold face.
At this moment, Dean saw the two of them and continued, “Oh, the two of them seem to be afraid that others will find out that they caused trouble, so they spread the news that Wanli offended me everywhere?” 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎ｌ.𝚘ｒｇ
“So, I want to ask you, is Lin Wanli your biological granddaughter? She had disappeared for two years, and no one cared about her. No one investigated what happened two years ago, but she was humiliated and slandered on the first day she returned home?”
“I’m sorry, she didn’t go out to fool around. It was my uncle who saved her two years ago and brought her back to France. She didn’t elope to find a man. I’m sorry to disappoint all of you.” Dean snorted.
Dean’s words successfully silenced the originally bustling hall. Everyone understood Dean’s meaning.
Meanwhile, the mother and daughter of the Ye Family, and Father Lin’s expressions were already as if they wanted to find a hole to hide in.
Because at this moment, they were being scrutinized by everyone.
In order to stop the situation from developing, Mother Ye immediately stepped forward and said, “Mr. Dean, we had a prior agreement…”
However, Dean only asked the waiter to take out her gift and throw it on the ground. “I only promised you not to cause trouble for the Lin Family. Didn’t I do it? As for the things you sent over, after all, you don’t know much about what it means to be wealthy. Servants don’t even use these things.”
Dean clicked his tongue.
Following the sound of the gift falling to the ground, Mother Ye seemed to have been stripped naked and thrown out in public for everyone to admire.
“I shouldn’t care about the matters of the Lin Family, but slandering me… You should have known that this day would come.”
Seeing this, Old Madam Lin, who had been silent all this while, finally understood that the other party was here to cause trouble.
The mother and daughter of the Ye Family represented her and this would mean that he was humiliating her as well.
